Interviewer instructions
Though a person may be attending more than two courses, information for items 6 to 29 are to be collected only for two courses. Necessary entries have already been made in the schedule for this purpose. The entries against the column corresponding to course no. 1 should be for ‘basic course’.
When the number of courses a particular member is undertaking is more than one, the basic course should be determined using the following rules –
- If an individual is pursuing more than one course then the course, which is in the highest level, should be considered as the basic course.
- If all the courses simultaneously pursued currently are in the same level then the course of the general education should be the basic course
- In absence of any general education, the course, which involves higher cost, should be taken as the basic course.
- If a person is enrolled both in regular course and course through distance learning then regular course should be treated as the basic course irrespective of the cost involved.
For example: if a person undergoes MSc and DOEACC A-level courses simultaneously then MSc is to be taken as basic course.
If an individual is pursuing more than two courses then the basic course should be taken as first course in the way as suggested. After the first course is selected then from the remaining courses, the course, which involves highest cost, should be taken as the second course.
